6 of the villagers from Toge arrived in Coniston shortly after midnight on Friday night. After 28 hours of travel they were raring to go. Vast amounts of rice appeared from suitcases, scores of pairs of home made slippers, pickles and mountain shoots straight from the toge hills spilled onto the table. The British holiday home was adapted for Japanese use, cups for bowls, the novelty of the handle, actually no batted an eye at not taking off shoes. Karen had prepared a 'comfort' mini meal of rice, miso soup and omlette. On Saturday we are taking them out for fish and chips in Keswick, let the adventure begin.
